 receiving, by the electronic search engine system, from the plurality of providers, a plurality of bids to advertise the products, service, or both;   for each user:
 based on the plurality of bids, determining a presentation priority among the subset of providers; and 
 wherein the at least one second graphical user search interface displays the visual presentations associated with the subset of providers in accordance with the presentation priority. 
   
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 5 , wherein an amount of each bid determines a positional location of particular visual presentation within the visual displaying area. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the single action performed by such user is a clicking on a particular visual presentation associated with a particular provider. 
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of providers are providers that pay to be included in the search. 
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
 embedding, by the electronic search engine system, at least one hidden game in each visual presentation of the at least one product, the at least one service, or both.   
     
     
         10 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one hidden game is an instant scratch-off game. 
     
     
         11 . An electronic search engine system, comprising:
